MORGANA
I was angry at Xavier for lying to me but I couldn't ignore the fact that I felt at peace in this park. My room was close to the serene environments of nature, soft sunlight poured into the room through the large windows. There was this calmness in me that I knew I would never have felt in my previous park.
The silence, at a point, taunted me, reminding me of Xavier's absence. Tears streamed down my face like tears during autumn. I couldn't believe that I was going back to my habit of crying daily. When Xavier had saved me, I thought that the day I had been put to prison was the last day I would shed tears but was I wrong?
Did he really deceive me? Was everything we shared at the woods a mere play? Was he a kidnapper who just wanted my healing power for his selfish use?
Different horrible thoughts went through my head but I still couldn't explain how I was feeling. It was something I couldn't explain. Flashbacks of the life I had at Moonstone Park kept coming to me, in bits. I was close to regretting leaving that Park but I knew how my face would have been bartered have I remained there with the ruthless Alpha Logan.
Alpha Logan treated me like shit and Moonstone park wasn't worth going back to, no matter what.
I sighed and that was when I heard a knock at my door. The young man introduced himself as Dom, the King's most trusted guard.
"The king has asked me to make sure you are taken care of and you're lacking nothing." He smiled at me. I could see that he was enthusiastic about his job and he did it well.
"Oh." I shrugged.
I wanted to ask why his boss was so cruel and mean to leave me here alone but I couldn't say that to him. After all, he was just a worker here.
I was still alone when two young ladies, who I suspected has been assigned to me as maids, came in, asking me what I wanted to eat, when I wanted to have a bath and trying to make small talk with me. I felt disturbed at first with their insistent questions but I had to adjust. After all, I had no one to talk to and I would be bored to death if I remained distant.
I was hungry so they got me some food but after eating, I felt horrible again. It seemed that even food couldn't take away my sadness no matter how hard I tried.
"We'll be leaving now." One of the maids said to me as she bowed. She was the more outspoken one with great jawline and a great physique too. She had said that her name was Emily while her friend was called Sally. Sally had left earlier to go do something which she had said to me but I had forgotten because I wasn't actually listening.
I didn't want them to leave because I would be alone here and I'll have no one to speak to. Then it hit me, I sat up from the bed where I had laid wallowing in my misery.
"Sit." I pointed at the sofa opposite the side of the bed where I sat now. She found it strange but she obeyed me and sat down. "I want you to give me some information."
My voice was barely louder than a whisper. "Does the king really have a fiancée."
It was a stupid question because Xavier had told me that he did but I wanted more deeper information about that. So I looked at her, urging her to speak. There was this fear in her eyes like she was afraid she would get punished.
It was lowly of me to get information as important as this from a maid but I had to. Xavier had pretended to save me, then left me stranded in this Palace locked up in a room.
"Come on, tell me. I mean no harm." I nodded at her and she relaxed.
"Yes, Ma'am. He does. She's very beautiful and kind as well. From what I know they have known each other for a long time and are do in love with each other." She responded, grinning from ear to ear.
My ear suddenly started itching me. That was probably too much information. I felt uneasy and I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear more but I had to force myself to listen to her because that information woukd determine if I was to stay here or leave. After all, there was no law or contract that it was written that I had to stay here.
"They grew up together so no one knew when they got betrothed but they'll be engaged soon and married too. I'm so happy for them."
I glared at Emily. She was truly happy and it was telling on the way she told me about the King and her fiancée. When she had left, I had to ask myself why I actually cared about this whole thing. The truth remained that Xavier saved me but he never promised to have anything to do with me. He only retaliated the kindness I showed to him back at the forest.
Yes, we had sex and there might be a little tiny feeling for him somewhere in my heart, but still that doesn't guarantee that we would be together.
Why did it matter to me? He had already helped me and since he was the king, there was no way he would just remain here with me while having responsibilities and duties to attend to. I was a mere omega, who an Alpha never wanted, so what made me think I'll be accepted by a Lycan king?
It was heartbreaking thinking about it but I had to make that decision. I was not going to run away and I was not going to fight for a man who obviously had never mine. I was grateful to the moon goddess for helping me, now it was time for me to take charge of my life and live fully.
